-How 'bout them Cowboys?! We beat the best team in the NFL...this week. Our consistency is just way off since we tend to compete on the same level as our opponent of the week.
-I was in Aspen over the weekend snowboarding with Murphy...Murphy's Law, that is. Among other untimely events, I sliced open my leg on my friend's board. There was bone showing people...not good. Five stitches later, I racked up my highest score on Muddled to date (453 on Normal difficulty).
-While passing through Denver, I made it a point to stop by Swing Thai for some of the most amazing Thai food to grace my palette. You might be familiar with my affinity for Cholada in Malibu, CA; well Swing Thai is just as clutch. Everything is good. Katie Thurmes first introduced Swing to me...thanks again girl!
-Speaking of great food, I'm a sucker for fish & chips. In fact, it's probably my favorite meal outside of Chipotle's veggie bol. While I was spending some time with my dear foodie friend, we discovered this dive called Zeke's Fish & Chips in Fort Worth, TX. Seriously some of the most amazing batter I've encountered. The icing on the cake? It's right down the street from my place!
-OK, for real this time: The All-American Rejects have dropped their 3rd studio album. It's $2.99 on Amazon this week...good time to nab it.
-My buddy Scott Neumeyer sent me Ghost Town on DVD last week. I thought it might be kind of cheesy but I was in stitches at Ricky Gervais' performance alone. Although a fan of the American rendition of the The Office, Gervais' true talent in the pool of dry humor shines bright here.
-While on my way to Aspen, we stopped at Glenwood Hot Spings to experience the therapeutic waters of Colorado...it was so fantastic.
-Lastly, Fake FredEgan's Twitter following is up to 119...not too bad. Check him out. It wouldn't be half as funny if most of it wasn't an exaggeration of the truth.

Hi Fred! I'm a Colorado native, so I share your LOOOOVE for Swing Thai! I always get the same thing too. I also can attest to the radness that is the hot springs. Glad you enjoyed our wonderful state! :) Boo on the snowboard injury though. I once but my lip on my own board (don't ask) and left a huge red snow pile at Copper Mountain, so yeah, I feel your pain.
Oh and GO BRONCOS!!! ;)
